Ofc I'm back in college again so I'm pretty busy, but I wanted to update on gauging stuff + my new favorite memories. I got to see Griffin Benton in Nashville. If you don't know who he is, please go listen to his stuff. He's alt rock and cool as shit. A good introductory song is Sweet Oblivion- that's what got me into him. That, or No One Wins In A Knife Fight. Idk man, all his songs a » Continue Reading
Meant to write on the forth but forgot lol. I'm officially in the single digits! Hell yeah! Had to wait a full two months this go around [and will be waiting more for future stretches] and it was a very smooth stretch. Didn't have to use oil, the taper did just fine. I feel like I always have to clarify, but my ears were ready and the stretch was not painful. Just needed it to guide th » Continue Reading
YEOWCH. My ears and septum match gauges at the moment lol. 10g all around! I'll see if my ears are ready for another bump up a week into June, but for the meantime everything matches. I'm fuckin' with the simple hoop fr. I do like the green I previously had, but this is a nice change. Depending on what size I end up sticking with, I'll » Continue Reading
This past Thursday [5.17] I got to see Hollywood Undead for the 2nd time and it was awesome. The venue was small and allowed for me to get a crazy good spot- I had a clear view of them the entire time and didn't even have to get drowned in the pit! The atmosphere was awesome, the venue was cool, and their energy was great as always. Last time I saw them was March 2022 when they were t » Continue Reading
Was on call with my buddies and spent a good 3 hours browsing Etsy for a new clicker for my septum. I was torn between getting something simple and getting something funky, since my current septum is a 12g green barbell. It's hard to find cool pieces as you size up though! People weren't kidding! So after refining my search and combing through way too many pages, I settled on a simple » Continue Reading
It's very early in the morning atm. It's storming like all hell [constant flashing outside, very concentrated thunder claps, & pouring] and I needed something to get my mind off it. I hate thunderstorms. The thunder typically just bothers me rather than scares me, but it's not the most fun right now because of how close, loud, and constant it is. I'm wearing my headphones to drown it. » Continue Reading
LET'S FUCKING GOOO 10g went in no fucking problem. This is dope as shit. Waited a little over a month this time, and holy shit was it a smooth fuckin' size up this time. My lobes are now officially bigger than my septum, although i do hope to get to 10g with it later in the year. Holy shit I'm loving this journey so far though. » Continue Reading
CW // for irritated piercing, puss grossness, and ear cheese. I done goofed, but not in the way I expected. When I sized up recently, my right ear had a pinching pain and I needed to give it an extra push to actually make it out of the back of my ear while my left ear went real damn smooth, and yet that's the ear that told me to fuck myself. Late last week, I went to my morning » Continue Reading
Fuck yeah, I have officially reached tunnel territory. I do think I need to spend more time for the next stretch, but 1 month was pretty good for this jump. It did pinch going through [hell, the right ear was the bitch ear this time] but it was pretty alright. The left side went through no issue, but goddamn did I struggle with the right side. It went in half way and I couldn't get it » Continue Reading
Happy birthday to one of the greatest singers of all time. He continues to help me fight when things get hard, and I'm forever grateful for his work. I hope he knows how many lives he's saved. Missing him hard today, but I'm glad to have his music to keep his memory alive. -Otis » Continue Reading
Me and my best friend are currently chilling in our campus's storm shelter. Honestly it's pretty cozy and there's not too many people here right now. A buncha people brought their dogs, which is cool. They're calm right now so all you can hear is the chatter of people. We brought food, valuables, and a couple of silly things to hold us over while we chill here. Hope anyone who reads th » Continue Reading
I meant to write this the other day, so I'm writing it now lol. I ordered a 12g green septum ring not too long ago and it came on the 10th- exactly a month from my stretch from 16g to 14g. I liked my 14g a lot, since it was a black horseshoe with spikes. But the moment my green ring came in, I had to try it. It had been a month to the day so I decided to see how it fit. Boom.
